Conquer evil men by your gentle kindness, and make zealous men wonder at your goodness. Put the lover of legality to shame by your compassion. With the afflicted be afflicted in mind. Love all men, but keep distant from all men.—St. Isaac of Syria

Is there a first name or something to put on prayer list, or the name of who will be someone's patron saint? (There's a bunch of us who are #1Sinner, and I'd rather not refer to someone else that way )

I was touched to see an entire family received into the church on Holy Saturday 2006. When I entered the church, I saw a large tub in the middle of the church. I had never seen a baptism on Holy Saturday never mind the baptism of adults. I was moved to tears.

Question a friend, perhaps he did not do it; but if he did anything so that he may do it no more.A hasty quarrel kindles fire,and urgent strife sheds blood.If you blow on a spark, it will glow;if you spit on it, it will be put out; and both come out of your mouth

Congratulations and enjoy the rest of Lent.

I'm guessing the practice of receiving converts isn't uniform and depends on one's background. We are coming from a traditionalist Roman Catholic background. My wife, oldest son and I are being received by confession of faith and anointing on the forehead. My younger children will all be Chrismated.
